What I Watched -- Locke

I don't remember where I heard about Locke, but its premise immediately sounded interesting. 

The entire movie takes place in a car.  You're in the car with the driver, and get to listen in on his telephone calls.  That's all.

But you can learn a lot about a person when he is making life-changing phone calls in his car (I won't spoil it for you), and what is impressive about this movie is how wrapped up you can find yourself in how these calls are going to turn out.  It's a testament to Tom Hardy's skill, because I'm not sure just any actor could pull it off.

When Locke gets off the highway, you part ways with him, and that's the end of your eavesdropping.

Bottom line: an interesting conceit, well acted.

  1. I just saw a preview for this recently - where? I can't remember. It looked good. Now I have more reason to see it!
